Books
There is a real wealth of books about Morocco, set in Morocco, or (increasingly) by Moroccans - and you won't regret having one or two along on a trip. Personal favourites include Paul Bowles's Fes novel, The Spider's House , Esther Freud's magic evocation of a childhood hippy trip to Marrakesh, Hideous Kinky , Walter Harris's evocation of the last days of feudal Morocco in the 1920s, Morocco That Was , and the various story collections of Mohammed Mrabet, impeccably rendered by Paul Bowles. The main Internet bookstores - Amazon in particular (try both its .com and .co.uk sites) - are likely to yield the highest returns on the more esoteric books we've recommended, while Internet bookseller search sites such as  © 2003 by Rough Guides Ltd. as trustee for its Authors.
